Extractions in Colorado Springs, CO

Reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted

When a tooth cannot be repaired or restored, an extraction may be the best option. Our dentists will assess your tooth and determine if it can be fixed or if it should be removed. There are a few reasons a tooth may need to be extracted, such as:

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

An impacted wisdom tooth is one that has not fully erupted into the mouth. Wisdom teeth develop in the late teens or early twenties for most people. If there is no room for them, they may become trapped (impacted).

Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and even infection. Patients who have impacted wisdom teeth may notice a visible indentation in the gums where the tooth is attempting to grow. These indentations typically do not go away on their own.

Surgical Extractions

If a tooth must be removed, your Dentist Colorado Springs CO will first numb the area to lessen any discomfort. Then, we will gently rock the tooth back and forth until it is loose and then pull it out. Sometimes, the tooth may need to be sectioned into smaller pieces. This depends on the size and shape of the tooth.

At our office, we can perform non-surgical extractions as well (also referred to as “simple extractions”). When you visit our dental office, our dentists will carefully examine your teeth for signs of a problem. If we determine that an extraction is necessary, we’ll take careful steps to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
